As Jiang Chen escorted Zhong Ling to Wanchou Valley, his reputation as the White-Clad Killer spread across the land overnight.
“Did you hear? There's a White-Clad Killer from Wuliang Mountain, who's killed countless people!”
“I've heard about it. Not only did he kill Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing, the leaders of Wuliang Sword Sect, but he also killed Si Kong Xuan, the leader of Shennong Gang. He's killed countless disciples from various sects as well.”
“Wuliang Sword Sect and Shennong Gang are nothing to fear, but this White-Clad Killer dared to kill the messenger of Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak. He even boasted that even if Tianshan Tonglao came in person, he would still kill them!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! What youthful arrogance! He dares to provoke Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak. Isn't he afraid of death?”
“If his words reach Tianshan Tonglao’s ears, given her personality, she won't let him off!”
“Humph, he already killed the messenger of Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak. It’s a sure thing that he'll be killed! How many in the entire Jianghu dare to provoke Tianshan Tonglao?”
“Naturally, a genius possesses a genius’ pride, how could he be intimidated by Tianshan Tonglao’s reputation?”
“Alas, such a pity, a fallen genius!”
“A tree that stands out in the forest will be struck by the wind! In all these years, I've seen too many geniuses die young!”
…
The Jianghu was buzzing with discussions…
…
Dali Dynasty, Zhennan王府!
“Who did this?”
Duan Zheng Chun looked at Duan Yu, who was in a coma, his eyes bloodshot, his face contorted. His hands clenched tightly.
Duan Yu was the only bloodline of the Dali Duan Clan, and he was also the future heir to the Dali Dynasty!
Now that Duan Yu was castrated, it was equivalent to the Dali Duan Clan being cut off!
“Reporting to the King, it was done by Wuliang Sword Sect!” Zhu Dan Chen, the household official, said, his voice trembling.
“Wuliang Sword Sect?”
Duan Zheng Chun was stunned!
Wuliang Sword Sect was an obscure sect in the Jianghu. Duan Zheng Chun didn’t even know who their leader was!
“My King, it’s the Wuliang Sword Sect on Wuliang Mountain, with Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing as their leaders,” Zhu Dan Chen said.
“Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing? Why haven’t you captured them and brought them to me?” Duan Zheng Chun roared.
“My King, when we arrived at Wuliang Mountain, Zuo Zi Mu and Xin Shuang Qing were already dead. In addition, Si Kong Xuan, the leader of Shennong Gang, and Feng, the messenger of Lingjiu Palace, were also dead in Jianhu Palace of Wuliang Sword Sect,” Zhu Dan Chen said.
“The messenger of Lingjiu Palace, Feng, is dead too?” Duan Zheng Chun exclaimed in surprise.
Not long ago, Feng, the messenger of Lingjiu Palace, had visited the palace. Duan Zheng Ming and Duan Zheng Chun had received him personally!
After all, Lingjiu Palace was a formidable force, even the Dali Dynasty couldn’t afford to offend them!
“Yes,” Zhu Dan Chen replied.
“Who did it?” Duan Zheng Chun asked.
Zhu Dan Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s not clear, but it’s said they all died at the hands of a young man in white.”
“You quickly find out the identity of the young man in white. Also, arrest all the people from Wuliang Sword Sect and put them in prison. Await my judgment!” Duan Zheng Chun commanded.
“Yes, My King!”
Zhu Dan Chen knew that Wuliang Sword Sect was about to be completely wiped out from the Jianghu!
…
Piaomiao Peak, Lingjiu Palace!
The entire hall was silent!
Countless women in black stood respectfully, not even daring to breathe!
Behind the curtains in the hall sat a petite figure, it was the Lingjiu Palace's Tianshan Tonglao!
“What happened?” Tianshan Tonglao asked in a low voice.
The numerous women in black looked at each other, not daring to speak.
“Min Yi, you speak!” Tianshan Tonglao asked.
“Yes, Tonglao!”
Fu Min Yi stepped forward and said, “We just received a message from a carrier pigeon, the people we sent to Jianhu Palace on Wuliang Mountain were killed?”
“Who is so bold as to dare to kill my messenger of Lingjiu Palace?” Tianshan Tonglao's voice grew colder.
The death of a few people was a minor matter, but to offend the prestige of Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak was absolutely unacceptable!
“Reporting to Tonglao, it was done by a young man in white! We are still searching for his whereabouts! He even had the audacity to say…” Fu Min Yi said.
“Say what?” Tianshan Tonglao asked.
Fu Min Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, “He even had the audacity to say that even if Tonglao came in person, he would still kill them!”
“Is that what he said?”
Tianshan Tonglao's voice grew even colder, and the people in the hall couldn’t help but shiver.
“Yes,” Fu Min Yi said, her voice trembling.
“Good, very good!”
Tianshan Tonglao said with a cold laugh, “It seems that this Tonglao hasn’t made a move for a long time, and some have forgotten how powerful I am!”
“Tonglao, it’s just a nameless young man who’s boasting to make a name for himself. There’s no need for Tonglao to make a move personally. Just leave it to us,” said one of the women in black.
Tianshan Tonglao nodded slightly and said, “Alright, find him, kill him!”
“Yes, Tonglao!”
Everyone replied in unison.
“If there’s nothing else, that’s all!”
Before the words fell, the petite figure behind the curtains had already disappeared.
The countless women in black in the hall felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from their hearts. They all breathed a sigh of relief, their backs soaked in cold sweat…
